• The basic issue in a Pediatric Urologist mind is
  not to harm the child by doing unnecessary
  surgery. Also, if surgery is required- an
  operation which will give best long-term results
  should be provided with shorter and less painful
  hospitalization.

• WHY Pediatric Urology
• Pediatric urological disorders are very different
  from adult urological disorders as most of these
  problems are congenital (present from birth or
  birth defects) in nature.
• The way the kids respond to medicines and surgery
  is also different to adults.
• DECISION MAKING is the key concept of Pediatric
  Urology
• -which diseases to operate and when to operate is
  the most important factor. Some of the diseases
  which were very aggressively operated earlier on
  are now managed medically or tackled with less
  aggressive surgery now. Advances in technology
  and instrumentation have led to more and more
